As many of my friends and family know, I volunteer for the <a href="http://dragora.org/repo.fsl/doc/trunk/www/index.md">Dragora Project</a>, an
independent fully-free GNU/Linux distribution. Dragora is a very important part
of my life because it opened up a new way of thought for me. Not just in my
computing life but also in my day-to-day life. This new way of thought is fairly
interesting and something that I find quite valuable.
</p>


<p>
Dragora as a concept comes in 4 parts: freedom, independence, community,
simplicity. Each of these parts are valid concepts in computing but also in
personal life, as I've found out. Let's unpack.

Recently my iPhone SE has been having some problems - <i>big problems</i>. The phone
itself runs fine and has no issues handling iOS in general or any apps I wish to
run. It's practically still brand new in that sense. However, somewhere within
the power/lock circuity there seems to be a malfunction causing the screen to
lock and unlock at random. Although very annoying, it was still usable for few
months.
</p>


<p>
Enter the curse of 2018! The is practically useless now. It locks/unlocks so
much that I can't even accept a phone call. Due to this tragedy, I was forced to
find another cellular device.
</p>


<p>
<a href="https://www.replicant.us/">Replicant</a> was my first choice. I plugged in my SIM card and &#x2026; nothing
happened. Turns out either Replicant 6 has a bug or the phone's SIM reader is
broken. Either way, I had to ditch the idea because I didn't to get a working
phone quickly.
</p>


<p>
Then it hit it&#x2026; Palm/HP Pre 3!

You've come to the site of a web developer (me) and were shocked. You immediately
thought: "Lol, why is his site so <i>old</i> looking? This isn't the 90s!" Due to my
prediction abilities, I foresaw this happening, thus, this article was born.

There are a ton of options when it comes to creating a website; from designing
it to picking tools for it to hosting it, there is a plethora! As a
professional web developer, I know this first hand. In fact, there
is a painful sickness called <a href="https://medium.com/@ericclemmons/javascript-fatigue-48d4011b6fc4">JavaScript Fatigue</a> that effects tons of developers
because there are so many friggin' options! Given all these choices, why <i>on
Earth</i> did I choose to use <a href="https://orgmode.org">org-mode</a> to create this site?!
